I Went Back in Time to 10 Years Ago and Saved My Young Lady Childhood Friend and She Became My Fiancee ~She’s Honest and Cool and Looks at Me Like She Wants to Be Cared For~
“Shuu kun, you spelled the alphabet wrong here.”
“Ah, really. ……”
The days after the concert were usually spent with Yorumiya.
That’s because Yorumiya has been coming over to my house quite frequently. She helps me make sweets, and now she’s sitting next to me and doing her homework together. Well, I don’t have any plans, so I have no reason to refuse. But can’t you do something about the distance a little?
Even now, she’s leaning in next to me and peeking at my printouts. The problem is that she is leaning in close to me, and she is usually touching me on the shoulder or something. The girl’s distinctive fragrance and other things are making me feel a little embarrassed.
And Azusa is right in front of me.
“……Ah, I’ve finished my homework and I think I’ll go out for a bit. I might be interrupting something. ……”
Azusa said she would do her homework today and was doing it with me.Azusa also said she would do her homework today, so she joined in. Now she’s looking at me blankly. There are other guests coming today, so I don’t think she’s really going… but she’s not going, is she?
“I’m not intruding …… am I, Shuu kun?”
“Oh, of course not!”
“….Something about Nii-chan annoys me.”
At that moment, Yorumiya suddenly looked up as if she had thought of something.
“By the way, I’m finished now… can I use the kitchen?”
“Kitchen?”
“Eh? Hina-san, are you going to cook something?”
“I was thinking of making pancakes again today.”
“Really?!”
Yorumiya clenched her fist, and Azusa stood up with her hands together. One way or another, the two of them often made sweets together. Yorumiya’s baking skills are… still improving. Would we be able to see the pancakes today with their original shape intact? About a 50% chance, perhaps. If it was a gacha in a social game, I would probably get them right away.
After a while, the doorbell rang.
Oh, it looks like everyone has arrived.
“ — sorry to bother you!”
When I opened the front door, a group of people I’ve become accustomed to seeing recently entered. Ayato, Onizaki-kun, and Minamori. I can’t believe I have friends like this. It’s quite a big deal from before the leap. Ayato tilted his head.
“Hey. Shuusuke’s house smells nice, doesn’t it?
“Yorumiya and my sister are baking pancakes.”
Everyone went into the living room with a happy look on their faces.
The idea was to play with the members from the camping trip today.
“Fufu, Hina chan, you were here first, weren’t you?”
“Well,……, my house is close by.”
Minamori, who was the last to pass by, stares at me and smiles mysteriously. It’s a meaningful expression.
I haven’t told anyone that Yorumiya and I are engaged after all, but they think there’s something going on.
Minamori has continued her idol career without incident since then. Her live performances have been a success, and her popularity as an idol has been on the rise. I don’t know about her mental health, but she seemed to enjoy singing during her live performances. It may take time to get over it, but I’m sure it will be resolved sooner or later.
“By the way, Enami-kun. I heard you threatened my manager.”
“Eeeh?! No, I don’t threaten her or anything.”
I was surprised by the sudden comment. There’s no way that’s true. It wasn’t that I threatened her, but rather that she was frightened on her own. There may have been some unfortunate miscommunication between us.
“….your were doing something behind the scenes, wasn’t it? I thought you haven’t told me about it yet.”
She whispers to me, squeezing my face. Because we haven’t been talking properly for a while now, I can feel the pressure that she wants me to start talking soon.
“Well, now is not the time. There’s more to it though.”
“…… hmm?”
“You were so supportive of me at the concert.”
She still looked at me from a close distance. Her gaze was filled with heat, as if she was expecting something. But I didn’t know what that meant. It would be weird to stay silent, so I nodded.
“Minamori looked like she was about to die.”
Minamori smiled softly. It looked as though her smile was hiding her true feelings… but I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination or not.
“Thanks. Next time I’ll do it right the first time, so come and see me again.”
“Of course.”
Minamori then turned around and headed towards the others. Cheers were heard in the living room. It seemed the pancakes were a success. A sweet smell was filling the room.
(I think I’ll have some too.)
Today, let’s eat something sweet and relax with everyone. This is the kind of time that makes me happy.
Forget about homework for now, I want to relax with everyone.
